To determine if 5448 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5448.
If the factors of 5448 are only 5448 and 1, then we know that 5448 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5448 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5448 is only divisible by 1 and 5448, then it is a prime number, and if 5448 is divisible by more than 5448 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5448 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 227, 454, 681, 908, 1362, 1816, 2724, 5448
Therefore, since 5448 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5448 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
